Separated shoulder? Sorry to hear it, but from one of your previous posts I don't think it should really be a problem for you. Remember, we'll be bobber fishing after stockies...! So as long as you can flick your wrist and lay out 15' of line you should be okay.

And remember, it's not a bobber. It's a strike indicator.

The Guadalupe trip will be a blast - still fun to catch a nice rainbow no matter it's ancestry. Oh, yeah, and dinner at the Grist Mill, a few cocktails on the deck, etc. Maybe Matt will invite us up to visit his father-in-law's wine collection?

What is that saying..."When the Tuff get going it hurts like Haties" and it does. Anyways I thought i would post a few pictures from my distant past when I used to take a few friends and their kids fishing on the Blanco. Please realize these pictures were rephotographed with a digital camera, and cleaned up using photochop. Yes that is me smart butt!

This place was always good for a few Guadalupies. I was using a 4.5' buggywhip spinning rod and very small beetlespins or crappie grubs.Same for this spot but I was using a conventional bass rig as the big small mouths would kill your offering hard!When I say good Smallmouth I think you see what I mean!Here's a solid 3.0lb smallie that went 20 inches in length.Here is a father and son I used to take down here shooting one of the rapids in their Old Town. Man That was fun!The son scored all day long the Dad paddled...all day long!Winter fishing is the best as you can see I was enjoying myself!As you can imagine the bankside fishing is primo too. This day was one of many good'ens I had down there.This guy was my fishing partner many times on the Blanco. He moved here from Maryland and in the first week here I took him to this.Of course I have caught some largemouths too. This guy came out of Cypress Creek just north of Wimberley.This gal pushed the scale hard, one of my largest ever.

If you guys want to give this a try I am way up for it. You will have to work hard to portage some of the limestone outcroppings but the effort is well worth it. I just need a couple of more weeks to mend up...hopefully. I was a stud with all that hair wasn't I HAHAHAHA

I figure we can always upgrade to a larger cabin or get another. If the weather is suitable for camping, then that is not out of the question either. So far we have Matt B., George S., Mike Q., Mike G., Dennis A., Isn't there anybody else in this club who fishes fresh water! It is always the same guys not that they are not great to fish with - they are, but Where is Steve V., Arron H., Adam M., Harry C., Dave L., Chris S., Don P., and on and on...

I will be fishing the Blanco River and Cypress Creek both days from my inflatable. So I am out for the two man competition. I will also be bringing my camera to begin the as of now unofficial TFF Photo Contest. Don't forget yours. This area is a scenic as it gets in Texas!

Hey you fly tiers please make me up some deer hair poppers and some larger wooley boogers. I have a couple crawfish patterns that will work well for sure.

So far for the guides we haveBrent Hodges - Matt Blyth & George SutherlandGuide Option 2 - openGuide Option 3 - openIf you are interested in the guides then let me know..right now I have only commited to one but Brent & Ashley can usually help us out. They also have a cabin for rent if anyone wants to use that - again you need to move relatively quickly as its popular with their customersM

I am in and will take a spot in the cabin. I will take myself out of the competition early because I get the most success when I change my fly A LOT on the Guad. But I will help who I am with. Travis Rock

My clothes are part of the success I have sewn for years. I will be coming out with the Graham Slam Outfitters clothing line later this year...still working on the elastic expanding waist band beltless waders. Comfortable with large zippered crotch for that ease of reach at those embarrassing moments. Currently working with TJ Max (who needs Orvis, Cabela's or Bass Pro) too so I can expect a colorful market!
